The process of enclosing free flowing or green compacted metal powders in a sheet metal canister. Canister materials are typically mild or stainless steel. Canister shapes can be simple to very complex, referred to as near-net shape. Encapsulation can also be used to bond powders or solids to specific regions of a part, often for the purpose of increasing corrosion and/or wear resistance preferentially (HIP cladding).
